“Ah!” Su Mian felt the world spin for a moment, then she landed on Wei Zhen Hui’s shoulder.
As Su Mian exclaimed, Wei Zhen Hui walked towards the gate with large strides.
Su Mian shouted as she struggled, “Wei Zhen Hui, put me down, I will walk by myself!” Su Mian’s face flushed red. With Wei Zhen Hui carrying her over his shoulder like this, her head was down and her stomach was stuck on his hard shoulder. His shoulder was so hard that even though she was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, it was still especially uncomfortable.
“According to traditions, I should be carrying you. However, walking like that would be too slow and I don’t have much time!” When Wei Zhen Hui finished speaking, he held onto her thigh with his right hand.
Su Mian stiffened all over, too afraid to move anymore for fear that Wei Zhen Hui’s hand would move further upwards…
Today was Su Mian’s engagement and many villagers had already gathered outside the door to watch. Who did not want to see the new wife who was about to be married?
The sky was blue and cloudless and the sunlight shone down warmly on everyone.
He Qin’s needlework was famously skillful and those who had daughters had crowded up against the back door of Su Mian’s house since early in the morning.
Wei Zhen Hui had already entered and the new wife would be coming out in a moment. Women and young girls alike were jammed up against the door.
Everyone was shoving and pushing against each other, eager to see the style and pattern of the cotton-padded jacket that He Qin had made for Su Mian. When the time comes for their own daughter to get married, they would ask He Qin to make one.
“Instructor, look at that crowd of women. Will the captain be able to make it out after a while?”
“Should we go and make a way out for our captain?”
“First team leader, your idea is really good! Go, let’s go over!”
“Halt!” Wu Feng kicked the butts of the first, second, third, and fourth team leaders, “You little rabbits, stay right here with me, no one is allowed to go!” As if he did not know what they were thinking. Did they not just want to see what the captain’s wife looked like? Even the captain had not seen her carefully. What are they bustling about for?
The first, second, third, and fourth team leaders all jumped and clutched at their butts, then gave a toothy grin, “Instructor, you are in charge of logistics, so can you be more gentle with your hands?! If you were any stronger, my legs would have been destroyed!”
Wu Feng’s expression did not change, “Did I use my hands? I used my foot!” When it came to pedantic verbiage, no one in the military was as formidable as Wu Feng!
The four team leaders knew that they would not be able to change his mind and without his permission, they did not dare to go over there. They could stare at the door fixedly with their necks stiffened.
It was not like they did not know who their sister-in-law was. Their captain was marrying the miracle doctor Su Mian. The first and second team leaders had also protected their sister-in-law before and the soldiers all knew this!
It was also rumoured that their sister-in-law knew how to use the capture technique and she was amazing at it. Let alone small thieves, it was likely that even they would not match up to their sister-in-law!
They would not go over then. Seeing that the captain was engaged today and the troops were preparing to move, they would let the captain off the hook. Otherwise, they would definitely make the captain talk about how he had chased their sister-in-law.
At this moment, Wei Zhen Hui pushed open the door with Su Mian on his back. The back door of Su Mian’s house was made of wood and was tall and narrow, enough for only one person to enter and exit.
Wei Zhen Hui was wearing a camouflage-printed uniform today. With his tall figure, even though he was engaged today, his expression was… very serious.
Oh my god. As soon as they saw Wei Zhen Hui, all the women and young girls crowding against the door trembled in fright and their legs shook. They instinctively parted and gave him a way out, forgetting that they had wanted to look at the cotton-padded jacket.
Who was this person that Su Mian was marrying, and why did he not have a smile on his face even on his engagement day?
Wei Zhen Hui nodded in what could be considered a greeting, then headed towards the east bridge while carrying Su Mian all the way.
There had been so many people surrounding the door and being carried, Su Mian did not look up at all. She grasped the back of Wei Zhen Hui’s clothes tightly with both hands. At this time, she really had no face to see people.
